Abstract (en)
The invention describes an automated turbine blade monitoring system that delivers on-demand photographs to avoid extensive labor costs from onsite inspections, which increases the frequency of blade inspections and ultimately extending the life of wind turbine blades. Blade condition data can be collected remotely without sending technicians to the turbine, improving mean time between visits to the unit. An associated method, computer systems, and computer program products are also provided.
